Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Patterson Springs, North Carolina, with an average temperature fluctuating between 66.7°F (19.3°C) and 88.3°F (31.3°C).

Temperature

The onset of August manifests an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. In August, the nighttime temperature plummets remarkably from the daily apex to a steady average of 66.7°F (19.3°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
